Since I don't know how to make the title less ambiguous, I will explain myself with examples. Example 1: imagine that in a dialogue between two mathematicians, one reads aloud the following sentence from a paper: "The variable x is greater than the variable y." How would you write his dialog line? That is, complete the following: "Hey, look at this." He said. "According to this paper, the variable ..." Example 2: a character spells a word or abbreviation, such as 'TM1'. I think all the following look awkward inside a dialogue line: - "I liked the TM1 better." - "I liked the T M one better." - "I liked the tee em one better."
